What have the artists said about the song?

A few weeks after “Ridin' Dirty” dropped, Scarface was in the studio with Tupac Shakur collaborating on “Smile” and passed along a copy of UGK’s album. Tupac was impressed, especially with “One Day,” which struck home because he’d just lost two of his cousins. “Yo, I don’t know who these cats is,” Tupac told EDI of his group The Outlawz. “Face just gave me this album [and] these cats talkin' ‘bout what we talkin’ ‘bout, these cats gonna be down with us.”
